Strange Life of a Cat

Because of Xiao Zhuo's return, Zheng Tan originally planned to block Zhuo's kitten from bringing him to the compound and then give him a gift for the Children's Day, but now it seems that it is unnecessary, and there is no gift that can compare Xiao Zhuo's return made him even more happy, and the so-called consolation ceremony was no longer needed.

The gift can't be given out today, and I'm not in a hurry to give it away, let's talk about it when I have a chance.

Unexpectedly, before Zheng Tan could choose a good time, Xiao Zhuo came directly to the door. Visit Jiao's father and Jiao's mother, Xiao Zhuo talked with Jiao's father and Jiao's mother for a while, of course, it is not about the projects she participated in, but those that have signed a non-disclosure agreement, and they will not and cannot be leaked. It was the same as the excuse Buddha gave her to go abroad to do research. She was talking about the research she participated in in foreign countries in the past few years. She didn't say much.

Papa Jiao understood, so he didn't ask any further questions.

In addition to visiting Jiao's family, Xiao Zhuo also took Zheng Tan to their house to spend Lunar New Year's Day with Zhuo's kitten.

On June 1st, the four of Jiao's family had no vacation at all, and Zheng Tan could just stay with Xiao Zhuo for a day.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, on Monday and Saturday, Zheng Tan went out with the Jiao family. Xiao Youzi went to junior high school, Jiao’s father went to the college, Jiao’s mother went to the attached high school, and Jiao Yuan went back to school on Sunday, so this morning Jiao's mother was the only one who went to the attached middle school.

Zheng Tan stayed in the courtyard directly after going downstairs, lying on a wooden chair and waiting. Next to the chair was the pillow that Papa Jiao had taken down for him in a bag for gift giving. At the mouth of the bag was the kind of bow tie that Little Yuzi helped make with ribbons.

According to Xiao Zhuo's intention, she will go out to buy groceries this morning, and then come directly to pick up Zheng Tan. They are still living in the elevator room on the west side of the compound, Zheng Tan can't go there alone, the access control of the building over there is more troublesome, let alone a gift.

In the morning, Big Fatty went grocery shopping with his old lady, Ah Huang was still sleepy at home, and the sheriff came out for a walk. I heard that the sheriff ate three zongzi at home during the Dragon Boat Festival. His owner immediately sent them to the pet center after he found out.

Generally speaking, it’s okay for cats to eat rice dumplings, but rice dumplings are sticky and not easy to digest, and it’s not good to eat too much. In addition, there have been incidents where cats choked on rice dumplings and almost choked to death. Looking at the building next to them, it's no wonder the sheriff and its owner felt sad when they saw the loss of three big meat dumplings. Not to mention choking or not, the owner always felt that something was wrong after eating so many zongzi all at once, so he insisted on taking it for inspection before he was relieved.

Cats at home are always hard to guard against such things as cats stealing food. They are angry at them stealing food without morality, and also worry that something will happen to them after eating some food that is not suitable for cats. Therefore, raising cats is always extra troublesome.

Looking at the sheriff who was going over the wall outside the compound, Zheng Tan shook his head.

Zheng Tan didn't wait for a long meeting, and Xiao Zhuo came over after eight o'clock, carrying the vegetables he just went to the market to buy, not too many, after the things were transferred to one hand, he helped Zheng Tan carry the one A big pillow with a black cat head, this is what Papa Jiao told her on the phone.

It always feels weird to ask a woman to help carry things, but Zheng Tan can't help it, who made him just a cat now.

The greening of the west compound is also very good now, unlike the two years when it was just built, the branches of the trees have also spread out, making it look much more comfortable.

At this time when I was going to work, I didn't see anyone. Zheng Tan didn't take the stairs, but took the elevator with Xiao Zhuo.

After entering the house, Zheng Tan found that compared with a few years ago, the house did not seem to have changed much, but there were a lot of Zhuo Kitty's things, and the original decorative paintings on the wall became Zhuo Kitten's graffiti. .

Xiaowan, who helped take care of Zhuo's kitten in the past few years, has left, and her task has been completed. She was replaced by another middle-aged nanny, who was newly found by Buddha. It was different from the nanny Xiaozhuo hired when she was pregnant. The nanny didn't have any dislike for Zheng Tan. After Xiao Zhuo came in, the nanny quickly took the dishes and went to work in the kitchen.

Zhuo Kitten was writing and drawing on his small drawing board with a pen. After seeing Zheng Tan, he dropped the pen and ran over.

Brother Hei gave you a gift. Xiao Zhuo handed the pillow to Kitten Zhuo.

Thank you Brother Hei!

The little kid was not too polite, he took it apart and took a look, then put the pillow in the room with a smile, directly at the head of the bed.

Zheng Tan noticed that there was a small bookshelf in Zhuo's kitten's room, and some of the books on it were taken from Xiao Zhuo's bookshelf. A few books still have fresh-turned marks and child-style bookmarks.

There is a Chinese dictionary and an English dictionary on Zhuo Kitty's desk, both of which look like they have been turned over many times.

Zheng Tan jumped onto the table and looked at the books on the bookshelf. There were a few popular science books for children. The books had also been turned over, but they were now placed on the far side of the bookshelf near the corner. From a local perspective, these books range from easy to difficult, and cover a wide range of topics. Some of them can be seen to have been read many times, and some have been read very rarely.

It's not necessarily that Zhuo Xiaomao doesn't like to read it, it's just that he can't understand it now, but Zheng Tan can't say for sure, when that little kid will be able to understand it.

The absence of Xiao Zhuo in the past few years must not have been taught by Xiao Zhuo, and that Xiao Wan may have taught him, but most of them were Zhuo Kitty's own choice.

When Zhuo’s kitten was watching cartoons with a pillow in his arms, Xiao Zhuo was watching by the big window in the room with a photo album.

Zheng Tan wasn't interested in watching cartoons with Zhuo's kitten, so he went over to see what Xiao Zhuo was watching.

Jumping onto the table beside him, Zheng Tan saw that in the photo album was an old yellowed black and white photo with a circle of lace on the side. In the photo is a man in his thirties, but he was in his thirties at that time, he should be in his fifties now, right? It looks a bit like Xiao Zhuo, could it be Xiao Zhuo's father?

Next to the photo is a painting with a picture on it, the paper has turned yellow, it probably has the same history as the old photo, but the artist who drew the picture is not very good at drawing, Zheng Tan can't see what is painted on the paper, just It can be seen that it is something like a circle.

Xiao Zhuo's fingers rubbed the photos and the patterns on the paper through the protective film of the album, and then took out a golden badge from the drawer of the table next to it. The badge looked very similar to the picture on the paper.

Putting the golden badge next to the photo and the paper with the pattern on it, Xiao Zhuo remembered something about her father's life. She always remembered when she was a child, after his father drew the pattern on the paper, he said to her in a very yearning tone : There is a golden medal, which symbolizes the highest honor.

Unfortunately, until his death, he still failed to get that little gold medal.

Touching the lines on the golden badge, Xiao Zhuo sighed to Zheng next to him: Heitan, do you know that a tree needs green leaves exposed to the sun to carry out photosynthesis, and it needs bright and bright Fragrant flowers attract insects to spread pollen. Fruits are needed to continue the next generation, but they also need roots buried in the soil that cannot see the sun to absorb water... This medal proves my dedication and the promise of this country to me. With it, whether the kitten is smart or stupid, this golden medal can protect him.

Zheng Tan knew that Zhuo Kitty's father was not his biological father on the household registration book, but all the official documents were consistent with the ones on the household registration book, and all the files showed may not be true, but they were absolutely genuine. It couldn't be more correct. No one knows the real origin of Zhuo Kitty, and he won't be criticized by others, and he won't have those strange eyes.

People in this era may have different values ​​from those in the past, but there are really many, many unsung heroes in this country...

There are a lot of people who can't come back after they go. No one remembered them, only some unpublished records recorded their exploits, and maybe a medal or two symbolizing their exploits accompanied them to the ground. The world needs someone to be celebrated, but these people, the vast majority, will never be known.

Brother Hei! Kitten Zhuo, who was watching TV over there, suddenly shouted.

Hearing the cry of Zhuo's kitten, Zheng Tan and Xiao Zhuo both came back to their senses and looked over there.

At first, he thought that the kitten Zhuo had something to do with him, but he didn't expect that the kitten Zhuo was just watching the TV and didn't look towards Zheng Tan.

Because of the angle, Zheng Tan couldn't see what was playing on the TV, so he didn't intend to pay attention to it, but he didn't expect the little cat from Zhuo to bark again.

Brother Hei! Mom, Brother Hei is on TV! Zhuo Kitten said to Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo quickly wiped away his tears, took a few deep breaths, adjusted his mood, and then walked over with a smile.

Zheng Tan was also curious, when did he appear on TV?

Looking closer, Zhuo Xiaomao was watching an entertainment program, which contained several movie previews, including the movie that Zheng Tan acted in last year.

For a few short clips, when Zheng Tan came to watch, he only saw one scene, and the ending just this summer, and then the trailer ended.

Xiao Zhuo didn't pay attention, and she only came here anxiously to see a few short images, and saw the black cat above, but she didn't connect the black cat in the movie with Zheng Tan, but Zhuo Xiaomao said Certainly, Xiao Zhuo did not refute.

Zheng Tan observed Xiao Zhuo's expression and found that she didn't recognize her, so he was secretly relieved. As long as it's not easy to recognize him, he is free to go for a walk by himself.

The movie is not so similar to the reality. Zheng Tan also chose a lot of angles that are beneficial to him when shooting, so that the camera can make him look handsome. With the addition of post-production and some small special effects, no one should It's just that he can directly match the cat inside with his cheap who hangs around all day.

However, how did Zhuo Kitty recognize it? Judging by the look of the kid, he was pretty sure. Speaking of black cats, there are also people in the West District compound who raise black cats. He saw one when he came here in the morning, and it looked quite similar to him.

Xiao Zhuo didn't intend to bother about this topic with Kitten Zhuo, and looked at the release time above, and said to Kitten Zhuo: Little Mao, mother will take you to watch this movie when the time comes.

Okay~

At the same time, at Ermao's house on the third floor of the East District compound, Ermao, who is also watching this channel, is trying milk for his daughter. Every time he makes milk powder, he will taste it himself to see if there is any peculiar smell and how the temperature is. Although the little girl Now I can eat and eat, but the milk is not left behind.

As soon as he took a sip of milk, Ermao saw the trailer on the TV and spit out a sip of milk.

Just one chapter, and then code for a while, and I can have more tomorrow.
